Abdülhamit Babat, who was kept in prison for 30 years and whose release has been postponed twice, has finally left Bolu F Type Closed Prison.

Babat was detained and sent to prison in Amed in 1993 on the charge of "separatism". He was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Diyarbakır State Security Court (DGM), where he was tried. Babat, who remained in prisons in Amed, Dilok, Ordu and Ankara during this time, was transferred to Bolu F Type Prison.

Babat, who developed heart and blood pressure disease in prison during his 30-year detention, was welcomed by his family and relatives in front of the prison. He then set out with his family to go to his hometown of Amed.
